So I've reincarnated as Mielle Roscente!

27. So I've been Taking Some Serious L's

TODAY ARIA HAD SUCCESSFULLY RUINED ME. THE DANCE WAS AN UTTER DISASTER. Anyone in the freaking crowd or from a distance could tell how dysfunctional our synchronization was. The whole time, I was sure I stepped on Oscar Frederick's feet.

And each time, I was scared for my life. Scared that Oscar would sue me.

Damn it! Damn it! I... I've been humiliated..!

I swallowed my pride, as I remembered that this was actually good news because people talked about how much of a mismatch we were. But still, it was at a cost of my dignity. Ugh...

The Count looked furious from over a distance but didn't say anything. Even Cain gaped from afar.

Oscar was trying to downplay everything of course, "Ah, Lady Mielle it was a wonderful dance,"

Sure, you little piece of shit. I cried underneath my facade. "I apologize that... Lord Frederick had to bear with my ever so.... unpolished skills,"

FUCK!

"L..Lady Mielle, don't beat yourself over something like this," Oscar finally said. I finally gave him a glare and told him, "If you are going to lie, at least lie with a smile-!"

Oscar took out his hands and said, "But I..."

Shit...! I accidentally took it out on him. "Uh... I didn't mean it– like that..."

"Ah... It seems that Lady Mielle still has a lot to learn, hahaha,"

"Well, she's still just a child. It's ages away from her coming-of-age ceremony still..!"

I was completely humiliated. Damn it. I'm pretty sure Aria is laughing right now! Are you seeing this?! HUH?

I had no reason to take this out on Oscar at all, but still, he was the sole reason I got humiliated. Why do bad things happen to him in the first place?!

I tried to stop the glistening tears almost pouring out of my eyes. Damn it..! Breath! It's not humiliating at all..!

This time, I need my hourglass-! UGH! I hate this.

As much as I want to leave right now, I can't. This is the worst. UGH.

"...Hey Oscar, are you perhaps staying over for dinner?" Cain walked over towards us both and wrapped his hands around Oscar in a friendly frat boy manner. "Our family would love to host you,"

"Ah... I wouldn't want to be a burden," He said, laughing politely. He glanced over at my direction. I looked away, and said, "Brother, Lord Oscar has burdened himself to come over at my humble birthday, we wouldn't dare impose him like this,"

Cain looked a bit surprised at my sudden bluntness, so I immediately said, "Oh, forgive me for putting words at your mouth, Lord Frederick," I looked over at him at last.

Oscar hesitatingly said, "Of course not..."

"But, it would be a far way back to the Frederick manor as well? Wouldn't it?" Cain opened his large fucking mouth. "I would rather you go home comfortably. And you should know that the Roscente household always places values the hospitality of its guests,"

"Ah, then..." Oscar said, wavering a little. He looked between me and Cain.

..? Please say no. Please say no. Please say...

"Well... then...please take care of me,"

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

"Great-!" Cain said in joy, he looked towards me and winked at me. Damn it.
